I’m setting up a new IotaWatt and also ran into the blank page when trying to connect to iotawatt.local, using either Firefox (PC) or Chrome (android). Using the Firefox debugger, I see it is connecting to 23.195.69.108 (not .106 as shown above). In fact, anything.local connects to that IP address. I can connect to the IotaWatt using my local IP address. My router has created a DHCP reservation for the IotaWatt.
I was able to get iotawatt.local to work by creating an entry in the hosts file as shown in this topic: Connecting using http://IotaWatt.local That will work for now, but if the IP address ever changes, I’ll have to remember to edit that host file.
I think this is an issue with my router, so I’m not really looking for a solution from IotaWatt, but I’m interested if anyone has any ideas as to why this is happening.
